Pseudomonas aeruginosa: new insights into pathogenesis and host defenses.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a metabolically versatile bacterium that can cause a wide range of severe opportunistic infections in patients with serious underlying medical conditions. These infections are characterized by an intense neutrophilic response resulting in significant damage to host tissues and often exhibit resistance to antibiotics leading to mortality. Treatment of persistent infecti...
متن کاملNew Insights into Host Factors in HIV-1 Pathogenesis
The critical early events in HIV-1 infection of the genital Oxford, OX3 9DS tract must be identified in order to develop effective United Kingdom measures to interrupt transmission. The chemokine re-Introduction ceptor CCR5 is the principal coreceptor used by HIV-1 In the four decades that human immunodeficiency virus for entry into cells in primary infection. Although in vitro type 1 (HIV-1) h...
متن کاملPyocyanin production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa induces neutrophil apoptosis and impairs neutrophil-mediated host defenses in vivo.
Clearance of neutrophils from inflamed sites is critical for resolution of inflammation, but pathogen-driven neutrophil apoptosis can impair host defenses. We previously showed that pyocyanin, a phenazine toxic metabolite produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, accelerates neutrophil apoptosis in vitro. We compared wild-type and pyocyanin-deficient strains of P. aeruginosa in a murine model of acut...
متن کاملNew insights into the pathogenesis of asthma.
Asthma is a disease whose ability to cause episodic symptomatology has been appreciated since antiquity. Although the fine points of the definition can be debated, it is reasonable to think of asthma as a pulmonary disorder characterized by the generalized reversible obstruction of airflow and to define reversibility as a greater than 12% increase in the patient's forced expiratory volume in 1 ...
متن کاملBurkitt's lymphoma: new insights into molecular pathogenesis.
The World Health Organisation classification reports three subcategories of Burkitt's lymphoma (BL)--endemic, non-endemic, and immunodeficiency associated--proposed to reflect the major clinical and genetic subtypes of this disease. These different types of BL have been reviewed and studied by immunohistochemistry and molecular methods. The results point out the heterogeneity of BL and suggest ...
